[11 May 1918]

Petrograd,
Zinovyev

We are doing everything possible¹. I have just received a telegram from Ufa: "Tomorrow we shall begin urgent loading. We shall send by schedule train twenty thousand poods of flour, rye to Moscow and the Moscow province, the same quantity to Petrograd and the Petrograd province. Forty thousand in all.
Chairman Eltsin."
